Although documented sites have been located there from the 1st century BC to the 8th century and it is known that it was a passage area for both the Greek and Roman Empúries, it is not mentioned until the 11th century, when it belonged to the county of Empúries. Most buildings and remains, however, are Romanesque and belong to the last four centuries.
